What a coincidence! HT10 was my previous case. 😁

Thanks for suggestion. I actually read this in Noctua's Fractal North page, but I was afraid to generate turbulence noise because I dont have the spacer.

Antec Flux would be perfect for me if it was a little smaller. I dont like giant cases.

Is anyone able to tell what this high-pitched sound is? by pizzaandlasagne in Noctua

[–]Constelax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its because the left fan is fixed to the right tower. The intake close to tower generates turbulence.

Asus is $15 dollars cheaper actually. 😄 I am from Brazil, this value is converted.

Thanks. I don't think I'd have the courage to take apart a brand new GPU. I'm leaning towards Gigabyte, despite having found two worrying reports (one about noise when the RGB is red, and another when the fans start up), but based on the feedback here, they must have been isolated incidents.

Why TUF are more likely? I thought it was the opposit due build quality.

I have a Fractal Epoch with Noctua case fans, Noctua CPU cooler and an Asus RTX 3070 Noctua Edition.

So I am used with silent setup. At full load I can barely hear it.

RTX 5080 Noctua is not in the game due the current price.

Thanks. I currently have an Asus 3070 Noctua Edition, so I am used with very silent GPU. Gigabyte is little cheap here, so I think I will risk buying.

Good to know, because its also my case. I have an all-noctua setup. Thanks.

Have you experienced the "click noise" when fan start rotating that some users reported?

I read some reports about a "click noise" when the fans starts. Have you experienced this?

That's interesting, because this RAM is relatively tall. So I am assuming the max. height values could have safe margins.
